I really like the way you think! The open source movement is really getting closer and closer to this organizational structure.
When you stop thinking about "how do I sell this software to other people so I can buy the things I need", and instead move to a model of everybody building software that can help humans obtain the things they need, I think the world changes.

- s0l1dsnak3123 6y agoYou seem to equate slacking off with failure, when there's plenty of evidence to the contrary: https://blog.trello.com/slacking-off-speed-up-productivity https://blog.trello.com/slacking-off-speed-up-productivity It's important to separate what we feel is productive work, from what will actually produce the most work on aggregate across society. I think we can build a world where those who feel they need downward or lateral pressure to get things done can have this, but not at the expense of everyone else.
- agumonkey 6y agoDon't worry I have a fairly broad measure of productivism that doesn't take into account transient fluff. I meant slacking off as endless debates, running in circles and dropping things. The art is the fine balance between progress and debt. oss doesn't guarantee that.
